Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

SingaporeNot so easy to take a taxi because of how narrow the side alleys are. Though taxis can technically drive through the side alleys, those are NOT one-way lane so we saw how difficult it was for 2 cars travelling in opposite directions to squeeze through the lanes. Need to budget additional time when traveling to airport.
The hotel was located in a charming alley filled with interesting shops! We appreciated how big and comfortable and quiet the rooms were, with no unpleasant smells. The staff are very pleasant and Zachary in particular was very kind, helpful and approachable!

United KingdomWould have like a fridge in the room. Also a rather enthusiastic cleaner threw away the box for my bathroom nightlight that has travelled all over the world with me, it wasn’t anywhere near the bin. We also had a takeaway container in the bathroom ready to be washed and re-used, and that was also disposed of.
Stayed at this hotel twice, enjoyed the central location and friendly and helpful staff. The room was very comfortable.

AustriaLobby and corridors look a bit scruffy and need to be redecorated. They give a bad impression as the rooms are a lot nice. No safe in the room.
Staff were very helpful. Deluxe room has a seating area and a nice carved screen giving it a more Chinese character. The normal rooms look standard and could be anywhere.

United StatesFantastic service, great location. The staff was truly kind and accommodating with all of my questions and needs (laundry, baggage storage, assistance with attractions and bookings). The location is 400 m from the metro so it’s easy to navigate all around the top Beijing attractions. The hotel is on a lively Hutong Alley with many shops and restaurants open late yet the hotel itself is quiet. The amenities were modern, clean and comfortable, five star feel.

United KingdomMy stay was too short. I did not want to leave.
What a fantastic place to stay! the room was very clean, quiet and well presented. The staff have a very good English language level and nothing was too much trouble for them. They were happy to arrange anything I needed. The location could not be beaten, right in the middle of the hutong’s which are the old cities alleyways and courtyards. Steeped in history and culture. You are within a short walk of many top attractions including the bell and drum tower, the Lama Temple, Houhai lake, Shichahai and Beihai park. If you want to go further you are only a few minutes walk from the underground ,which is the best I have been on or 5 mins from a major bus route or taxi’s. Because of the location you are surrounded by a vast array of restaurants with many different cuisines at very reasonable prices. I have stayed here before and have no intention of ever staying anywhere else while in Beijing. I believe there could not be a better place to spend your time. I will return as soon as I am able.

United KingdomYou will here a lot of noise from the hallway and your room neighbours as sound insulation inside isn’t too great, just the windows are proper noise proofed. Not sure I would choose it for a private trip as price seems to be on the higher end but you get a very decent room for it!
Fantastic location to explore the Hutongs and many places close to the city centre. The room was very comfortable, with a very cozy and reasonably soft bed, and a Japanese toilet in the bathroom! Also liked the complementary water being refreshed every day. Nice style of the room as well and no noise coming from the very busy Nanluoguxiang, at least in the rooms out to the back of the hotel. Staff is very helpful too!
